b"Reshma\\u2019s may have been TV\\u2019s first female South Asian series' lead - but she doesn\\u2019t want to be just seen as \\u201cethnic fun.\\u201d From a little girl\\u2019s British Bollywood obsessions - to studying and singing opera in the midwest - to breaking onto the small and big screen - Reshma\\u2019s always pushed the boundaries of ethnic casting. You\\u2019ve seen her on USA\\u2019s flagship series Royal Pains, NBCs' Blindspot, CSI Miami, 30 Rock and the feature film Allegiance. And you\\u2019ve definitely HEARD her on Netflix\\u2019s SHE-RA (cast white!). But Reshma\\u2019s the first to tell you if you don't have roles, you can't get the jobs. And while the times they are a-changing, that doesn\\u2019t mean things can\\u2019t drive her wackadoodle dandy.\\nLEARN ABOUT RESHMA: imdb.com/name/nm2439805\\n=\\nMENTIONS...\\n\\nMOVIE: Dil Hain Ke Manta Nahin (\\u201cThe Heart Refuses to Listen\\u201d) imdb.com/title/tt0101733; - youtu.be/QWTcrvrkmNo\\n\\n\\nBOLLYWOOD CRUSH: Aamir Kahn - imdb.com/name/nm0451148/\\n\\n\\nMOVIE: Pacific Rim (her husband doens\\u2019t get it).\\n\\nMOVIE: All the Avengers (Thor\\u2019s pretty hot)\\n\\nBOOK: The Namesake: goodreads.com/book/show/33917.The_Namesake\\n\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nTV: Royal Pains - usanetwork.com/royal-pains\\n\\n\\nCAUSES: lend-a-hand-india.org , thenewabolitionists.com, apneaap.org\\n\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
